A single Koch curve or a triangle of Koch curves forming a Koch snowflake ?

- From the Wikipedia article: "The Koch curve originally described by Helge von Koch is constructed using only one of the three sides of the original triangle. In other words, three Koch curves make a Koch snowflake."
- I (Perl 6) chose to show a Koch snowflake as it fulfils the requirement of "Draw a Koch curve", but is more interesting IMO; most other contributors seem to gone the same route. Technically, using the mathematical definition, a Koch snowflake is a curve. It just isn't only a Koch curve, but 3. --Thundergnat (talk) 13:14, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
